Whether you are looking for a pied-a-terre or 10,000ft2 of detached grandeur, Toronto has something to fit your needs and your budget.

The rise and rise of Toronto

Safe and fun are not two words you usually hear in the same sentence. Toronto is too polite to boast, but if it could, you would hear about its on-trend restaurants, a vibrant nightclub scene, its renowned annual film festival, and its accessible parks and waterfront. Right on Toronto’s doorstep are the picturesque lake districts of Muskoka and Georgian Bay, and the wine lover’s paradise of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Overseas property investors agree that Canada’s prudent banks and reputation...

Rediscovering the great outdoors

Finding the ideal holiday or retirement home has always presented a dilemma. Buy a home in a resort with well-developed leisure amenities and you will likely find yourself cheek by jowl with your neighbours. A more secluded and private abode, on the other hand, is unlikely to enjoy doorstep access to recreation and lifestyle facilities.

Now there is a third option, and it is located within one of the most beautiful scenic and recreational areas in Canada. The Lac en Ciel resort is now ...

Vancouver: A beacon of prosperity

Whilst the majority of North American real estate has suffered enormously from the sub-prime crisis and the subsequent credit crunch, Vancouver – located on Canada’s pacific west coast – has actually bounced back above the prices of summer 2008. This begs the question, why is Vancouver, the most English city in North America different?

The answers are multi-faceted, with the easy explanation being the investment in infrastructure for the Winter Olympics due to be held in ...

Into the Winnebago

But for those of us who make the trip across the Atlantic, Victoria offers little in novelty and, for some, may appear far too much like hom...
